The Lexus truly does deliver one of the most relaxed and comfortable drives
you are likely to encounter in an executive luxury saloon.
in around 5.7-seconds, while naturally the
top speed is limited to 250km/h.
When we are talking about luxury executive saloons the interior is what it’s all
about. With most of interior kitted out in
soft beige leather and Alcantara leather
roof linings, combined with high quality
wooden trim, you immediately feel special when entering the Lexus LS460. The
seats, too, are soft and sumptuously padded to offer top class comfort to all occupants.
When it comes to technology and toys to
play with there is simply too much too mention. But believe me the Lexus LS460 has it all.
Herewith some of the features:
“Nanotechnology” 4-zone climate control with
a “climate concierge” which is a new system
developed by Lexus that will automatically
monitor and adjust temperatures of the cabin,
steering wheel and seats to your preference.
A fantastic 19-speaker 7.1 surround sound
Mark Levinson sound system with Bluetooth
connectivity and a Blu-ray player.
Voice control, satellite navigation, blind
spot indicator, LED lights throughout the vehicle, rear park camera, an ottoman style
front passenger seat, automatic handbrake, electric sunroof, memory functions
on all the seats and a Cool Box in between
the rear seats.
I especially enjoyed the keyless entry system
with the smart card key that could easily fit in
your wallet.
When looking at this LS460 as a used car it still
proved immaculate, as a vehicle of this calibre should after a mere 7 200 Km on the clock.
Surely the R300 000 saving over and above the
new list price should also make this Lexus a very
lucrative proposition for buyers searching for a
large executive luxury saloon.
